    We didn't have much time but there was a nice vibe.

    We didn't have much time but there was a nice vibe. We went to the Saturday morning market which was really good. Went to Castlecliff briefly, nice looking beach and amazing gardens at the village centre. Saw some art galleries, walked along the river and walked around the town. Will definitely come back with a bit more time

    I was amazed at the character of the city and the lovely heritage buildings, also the beauty of having a river flowing through the city and the ocean also in sight. It was my first time in Wanganui and I loved it.

    Lovely kiwi town. Good food, galleries and nature. We highly recommend the amazing Quartz Museum (NZ largest collection of NZ ceramics and also some cool international work). We stayed at the Braemar House B and B. Spotless, good value, charming building and lovely friendly owners. Even the owners chickens were friendly!

    It's very easy to find your way around Whanganui, while there were a lot of cars in the city on market day, it's still nothing compared to the bigger city traffic! Great food places and had most of the usual retail shops.

    We enjoyed Whanganui town, but since we were there just to attend a wedding, we didn't get to view a lot of different places. Where we stayed, he wahi pai na te mea he tata ki nga whare kai, close to eating places and supermarkets. Once we got to learn how the streets connected with each other, we could navigate better. We enjoyed Trafalgar Shopping mall, the new Farmers walk-through in town centre, and the look-out at Castlecliffe.

    Whanganui is an ol'River Port town that still carries that ambience. If you were comparing ol'Paddle steamer towns with an Australia vs NZ type contest, you'd have an Ecucha Victoria or Morpeth NSW vs Whanganui match-up. Whanganui has the ol'Paddle Steamer "Waimere" still in operation & a Waimere Steamer Museum. Don't miss out on the War Memorial Tower & look-out, it's a musta, you can even get an elevator there. All the shops are here for the gals & of course the wife bought a new dress for the Whanganui Races. We spent 2 nights @ the Riverview Motel in a self contained Garden Unit, serenity abounds at this establishment, it's old but still gold.

    Friendly, lively, central accommodation with popular pub and restaurant, making it a very convenient overnight stay in Whanganui. A good range of tasty pub food and the complimentary continental breakfast was delicious, especially the homemade granola and fruit compote.
